Mangaluru, Sep 17, 2016: Two men who were released from judicial custody recently have been arrested by the Barke police on the charges of making phone calls using fake SIM cards while they were lodged in the prison.

Those arrested are Praveen Anil Monteiro (26), a resident of Panjimogaru and Ashutosh alias Rahim (40). They had reportedly made calls from the prison in January and June this year.

Here it is worth recalling that the city police led by Mangaluru Police Commissioner Chandrashekhar during a recent raid to the District Prison here had seized as many as 29 mobile phones and SIM cards. The call details were scrutinised leading to the arrest of the duo.
